Chapter 238 Prayer

Di Yuanjian's shoulders gradually drooped, Cheng Minying sighed worriedly, and paused for a long time before continuing:

"Don't blame me for patronizing my own house, there are so many people in my family, who can take care of it? Even if there is a hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver, which is distributed to each person, there is not a few money left, and the other rooms, which one does not only care about his own family? Let's talk about the third child, the family spent so much silver to keep him on a foreign errand, and it is a fat place, you see, this New Year, I sent two thousand taels of silver and a few cars of tattered back, I don't have anything, two rooms, four rooms, and five rooms, but I have said it several times. ”

Di Yuanjian frowned angrily, Cheng Minying looked at him carefully, and continued cautiously:

"If they split up in the second room, I have nothing to say, and you don't have to be a rush and block others."

"The old man is still there!"

Di Xingjian said angrily, Cheng Minying snorted softly,

"It's not that the old man is still there, and this family has to hold on like this."

Di Yuanjian pursed his lips for a long time before he sighed, Cheng Minying looked at him, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued with a smile:

"You are the eldest son and eldest grandson, and you are the son of the world, no matter what, it is not good to buy private property openly and secretly like the third room, in the end, I am thinking, take good care of the two Zhuangzi and three shops that I married, and make more money out, these, but it is really our own, in the future, Ah Rong, Ah Yue, as well as Yongbin, Yongwen several, this marriage and marriage, with this as a supplement, there will be decency."

Di Yuanjian nodded for a while, was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh, and said in a dull voice:

"Where is the best place to say this? She's a county lord after all. ”

"It's okay, I'll tell my mother first, hasn't that Li Xiaonuan always said that she is extremely filial, and if her mother has words, she will never disobey her."

Cheng Minying pursed her lips slightly, and said in a relaxed tone, Di Yuanjian looked at Cheng Minying, frowned, opened his mouth and closed it again, Cheng Minying also stopped talking, his eyes looked at the gently shaking car curtain, and slowly calculated.

Early the next morning, Li Xiaonuan waited for the princess, got into the car together in the second gate, Cheng Ke followed on horseback, and the group went to the gospel temple to pray for blessings.

Li Xiaonuan accompanied the princess into the incense, listened to the scriptures again, waited for the princess to get into the car, and sent her back to the palace first, she and Cheng Ke also went to visit Master Idealism.

Cheng Ke and Li Xiaonuan whispered and laughed on the edge of the forest behind the temple, walked around for half an hour, returned to the temple to eat vegetarian food, rested for another half an hour, left the girl entourage, went out from the back door of the gospel temple, followed the forest path, and walked to the courtyard deep in the dense forest.

The gate of the courtyard was opened, the yard was clean, but there was no trace, Cheng Ke hesitated, he didn't dare to follow up with himself, stood in the foyer, watched Li Xiaonuan enter another door, and then turned around and entered the gatehouse, in the gatehouse, there was already a brazier, hot tea and vegetarian snacks prepared.

Li Xiaonuan walked along the road in the middle of the courtyard until he reached the main courtyard, and the middle-aged monk standing at the door smiled gently, clasped his hands together, and said hello very rarely,

"The donor looks very good today."

Li Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows in surprise, and hurriedly returned the salute,

"Thank you, Master, for your good words."

Master Idealism stood at the door of the main room, holding a brass mat pattern hand stove that was only a full circle larger than the usual hand stove, his face was a little more relaxed and arbitrary than the previous times, and there was a faint sense of joy.

Li Xiaonuan looked at Master Idealism in even more surprise, and asked in surprise:

"What's the joy of the master? This complexion, it's really ......."

Li Xiaonuan narrowed her eyes with a smile, paused for a moment, and then said slowly:

"Rare."

The corners of Master Idealism's mouth were raised, and he actually showed a slight smile, turned sideways, and half-gestured for Li Xiaonuan to enter the house.

The room was unusually warm, Li Xiaonuan untied his cloak, threw it on an armchair casually, stretched out his arms comfortably, and said with a smile:

"The master will enjoy it the most, and it is necessary to be warm like this in winter to be comfortable, what is the joy of the master? Speaking of which, I am also happy with the master. ”

Li Xiaonuan asked, the smile on the face of the master of idealism became stronger, let Li Xiaonuan sit on the couch, made tea, and then said slowly:

"I'm an outsider, how can there be any joy."

"Outside?"

Li Xiaonuan looked at the master, thought about it, shook his head with a smile,

"It's good for me to see today's sunrise, thinking that such a sunrise can be seen with peace of mind for decades, and I feel a little happy in my heart."

Master Idealism picked up the cup, drank tea leisurely, and said lightly, Li Xiaonuan looked him up and down, how can this Master of Idealism be fifty years away, there are still decades of stable life, thinking about the long term, well, this wish is beautiful.

Master Idealism looked at Li Xiaonuan, who was looking him up and down, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was smiling, and as if he was helplessly asking:

"Is it a bit extravagant to think that I am already at my age, and I still want to live for a few more decades?"

"Why!"

Li Xiaonuan immediately and categorically denied it,

"Ninety years is decades, twenty years is decades, and the master will live for another twenty years, and he will still be young, even if he lives for another ninety years, he will not be too old."

Li Xiaonuan's eyes rolled slightly, and said seriously, Master Idealism stared at her, and snorted with a smile,

"When your eyes roll, you must not think of good things in your heart!"

Li Xiaonuan laughed softly and shook her head firmly,

"The master can't wronged me!"

Without waiting for the idealistic answer, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly changed the topic,

"It's time for the master to take in an apprentice."

"What apprentices do you accept? What do you do? Otherwise, you can share tea with me, and learn chess too. ”

Master Idealism put down the cup in his hand, looked at Li Xiaonuan and said, Li Xiaonuan sighed, put down the cup in his hand and sighed:

"It seems that I came today is not the right time, it turns out that the master's heart, when he is happy, he must make others unhappy, the master wants to teach, you can teach me how to see the destiny of heaven, measure the fortune, and you don't have to learn that you are so profound, just understand a little fur, as long as you divinate a hexagram every day, it can make me seek good fortune and avoid evil every day, and know where there is silver to pick."

Master Idealism stared at Li Xiaonuan for a long time,

"You're out there, so tired?"

"There's no master out there."

Li Xiaonuan muttered, the master of idealism stared at her and did not speak, Li Xiaonuan took a piece of vegetarian dim sum and bit a little, looked at the master and said:

"Like the master, who can understand the destiny of heaven, must be born extraordinary, born to know, master, the next person like this, has he been born? Where was it born? Does the master know? ”

Master Idealism shook his head, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and asked slowly:

"Like you, where is the next you, do you know?"

Li Xiaonuan shuddered slightly, his hand holding the dim sum froze in the air, and he looked at the master of idealism with shocked eyes, and stayed for a moment before he asked timidly in a low voice:

"Does the master understand the origin of Xiao Nuan? Xiao Nuan has been confused, can the master solve Xiao Nuan's doubts? ”

Master Idealism narrowed his eyes and laughed, reached out to pick up the cup, drank tea, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and said paradoxically:

"I don't know where you come from, I don't know where you come from, you are the same as me, you are an outlier in this world, I can't even understand myself, and naturally I can't understand you, just be confused, it's not a good thing to understand too much."

Li Xiaonuan looked at the master who was very different from usual suspiciously, he was in a good mood, he talked a lot, and he talked a lot, what could he do if he could change so much? Li Xiaonuan was a little puzzled for a while, and the master of idealism stretched out his movements and refilled the water into the cups of the two, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and said as if very casually:

"You're too wary, let go, that stupid boy in the porter is a good one."

Li Xiaonuan tilted his head to look at him, and nodded slowly after a while, the two drank another cup of tea in silence, and the master got up and called Li Xiaonuan,

"A few deer ran in the back garden a few days ago, I let people keep them in captivity, I'll take you to see them."

Li Xiaonuan happily agreed, jumped off, picked up the cloak from the chair, put it on, and followed the master to the back garden.

Cheng Ke was so bored that he hid on the chair in the door room, and drank until the tea leaves were soaked into white water, only to see Li Xiaonuan come out of the depths of the courtyard.

Cheng Ke hurriedly jumped up, ran out to pick up Li Xiaonuan, didn't ask much, only took her hand and went back to the forest.

The two got into the car, and the car jolted and sped back into the city.

Cheng Ke crooked in the carriage, hugged Li Xiaonuan, and said with a smile:

"Let's not go back to the house for dinner in the evening, I'll take you to Defu Building to listen to Zhu Qi play the piano, tomorrow will be the fourth day of the new year."

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly nodded and agreed, leaned over to Cheng Ke's side, looked at him, and whispered with a smile:

"The master said that he wanted to see King Jing, let you bring a letter, let him go alone, don't alarm people."

"Really?!"

Cheng Ke sat up suddenly, his eyes were full of surprise, Li Xiaonuan was suddenly taken up by him and fell and rolled to the side of the carriage wall, Cheng Ke hurriedly reached out and pulled her up, Li Xiaonuan helped the hairpin on his head, and kicked Cheng Ke angrily,

"But an old monk with a higher status, look at you!"

"It's me who is not good, where is the injury? Let me see!"

Cheng Ke hurriedly grabbed Li Xiaonuan and looked down from the top of his head, Li Xiaonuan straightened his clothes, sighed and said:

"Don't look at it, it's bruised all over your body."

Cheng Ke kept seeing Li Xiaonuan's fingertips, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued with a smile:

"I'll treat your injuries when you go back, inch by inch."

Cheng Ke paused, hugged Li Xiaonuan, and said in a low voice:

"You don't know, in this world, there are very few people who the master is willing to see, and there are almost no people like you who can enter and leave the master's forest and that courtyard at will, that is, Master Suiyun, I heard him say that he also has to wait for the transmission, and you are an outlier."

The second more, continue to irregularly, today to go to Suzhou, alas, hug everyone, as early as possible.
